Riverfront Concert Series

We just got back from a fun concert at the James M. Robb Colorado
River State Park in Fruita featuring Carrie Rodriguez, who is a singer
and fiddle player. The Colorado Riverfront Foundation hosts several
of these free concerts each summer. Proceeds from the sale of food
and drinks go to the Riverfront Foundation for building new sections
of the Riverfront Trail. The venue has a great backdrop of the Colorado
National Monument and there aren't any permanent seats so everyone
brings their lawn chairs or blankets. We met up with our friends Jim
and Judey and we enjoyed hanging out.


The skies threatened to open up and rain all over us the entire
time we were there, but it made for some really pretty sunset
clouds. At around 10pm we felt the first drops and that was our
signal to head out. We had fun and will probably go to a few more
of these concerts next summer.

In An Apricot Jam

Yesterday, our friend Judey was visiting and she brought us
a jar of Apricot Jam that she had just made. Apparently, the
wind we had this weekend blew all of their apricots off the
trees and she had to go into fast-forward-jam-making-mode
and we were the lucky recipients of a jar. Good thing she got
to it when she did because earlier in the day on Tuesday she fell
and broke her fibula in two places! There won't be much jam
making at her place for a while. Get well soon Judey!
